We all want to give our rabbits the best, even if that means not giving them as many treats as they would like! Here are some general guides on the best diet for your rabbit.

1. Timothy Hay

Timothy hay should always be available to your rabbit. This not only helps their digestive system, but also helps grind down their constantly growing teeth. 

2. Vegetables

Give your rabbit a variety of vegetables throughout the day. For a good list of suggested vegetables, visit www.rabbit.org.

3. Pellets

Feed only a small amount of high quality pellets. Look for pellets that do not have nuts or seeds in them as they are high in fat. Adult rabbits should have pellets with little to none alfalfa content.

4. Treats

Sorry bunnies, treats should be given in small amounts. Try using fruits as treats to avoid over processed foods. (Our treats are 100% vegetables and fruits... just saying!)

Knowing how easy and quick it is for rabbits to become ill, it's hard to leave them when you go on vacation—especially if your sitter does not have a lot of experience with rabbits.

With summer around the corner, it can get hot for fluffly, fur covered bunnies!

With many of us humans away at work and out of the home, we may not catch our buns in the hottest portion of the day.

Keep your buns cool with the following tips

1. FROZEN WATER BOTTLES. 

If Elsa from Frozen is not available, throw a few frozen water bottles in the freezer, and let freeze over night. Before you leave for work, wrap in an old sock and place in areas where your bun likes to cuddle. Socks absorb condensation, keeping your buns dry and cool. This also works better if your bun decides to toss and throw the bottle around. 

2. CERAMIC OR MARBLE TILES.

Available at hardware stores, these tiles stay cooler than ambient air. A few of these tiles placed around your bunny's area, especially with a frozen water bottle on top will be a nice, cool area for your bun to lie on. 

3. ICE CUBES IN WATTER

Place a few ice cubes in your bun's water. Watch that you do not put too many so that the water is still reachable. 

4. FANS

Place a moist cloth over a fan in your bun's area. The water will help to keep the air cool, whereas a fan will simply circulate air. Do not blow the air directly onto your bunny. This method is best under supervision, as it involves electronic devices. 

5. GROOM, GROOM, GROOM!

With hotter weather comes summer fur fashions. Help your bun keep cool by combing out the excess fur of last season's coat!

Be sure that your rabbit always has water and shade to keep out of the sun.
